How do you add the SAT scores to a total score?

Question

The guide they give you is not very helpful. i think you just add them up , but im not sure

Answer 1

There are 3 sections in the SAT reasoning test, and here is how they add you the scores:

Math- Total of 800 points

Reading - Total of 800

Writing - Total of 800 (The essay portion is included in the writing)

Which gives you a grand total of 2400 (Perfect score)

And you are right, you do just add the scores up, but the only thing that you do not add up is the essay (because it is included in the writing portion).

Hope this helps! =]

Answer 2

You add up the writing, reading, and math. The essay is not included in that.
